PAGE 30 - “THE STAR” Tuesday, September 27, 2016
AMAZING images of the beautiful Tar-
win Valley were submitted for a photo-
graphic competition run by The Tarwin
Valley Development Group to highlight
the amazing people, places and events of
the Tarwin Valley.
The best in show was for the photograph, Beau
and Polly, Beach 3, by Karli Ray of Somerville.
“This dreamlike photo of Beach 3 inarguably
captures the magic of the South Gippsland Coast-
line, Venus Bay,” Karli said.
“The formidably vast but striking skies form a
picturesque rooftop over the wild waters, pristine,
golden sands and the serene but soaring sand dunes
of the Venus Bay shoreline; most definitely a mag-
nificent and heroic backdrop for the visitors and lo-
cals of the Tarwin Valley.”
Runners-up in the adults class were: Promised
Land by Janine Clark of Nerrena East, Summer
Grasses by Kerry Spokes of Fish Creek and Father
and Daughter on Beach by Mary-Ann Todesco of
Huntingdale.
Best juniors were: Sand Imprint by Taylah Murie
of Traralgon, Wombat at Fish Creek by Liam Wille
of Canberra, and Sophie September 2015 by Sophie
Glasson of Melbourne and Venus Bay.
Jenny O’Sullivan, president of the Tarwin Val-
ley Development Group thanked all participants for
their entries and particularly Ken Spence from the
Camberwell Photographic Club and Gary Monahan
from the Foster Photographic Club for being inde-
pendent judges of the competition.
She also thanked Andrew McEwen for coordi-
nating the competition. The photos can be seen on
the Tarwin Valley Facebook page.
Tarwin Valley Development Group aims to pro-
mote the sustainable development of the Tarwin Val-
ley and district.
The Tarwin Valley includes the eight townships
of Fish Creek, Meeniyan, Stony Creek, Tarwin Low-
er, Venus Bay, Koonwarra, Dumbalk and Buffalo.
It is nestled in the foothills of Foster, Mirboo
North and Leongatha - the heart of South Gippsland’s
Prom Country.
The photo competition was supported by South
Gippsland Shire Council by a community grant. For

Stunning setting: among the best juniors was Sophie September 2015 by Sophie Glasson of
Melbourne and Venus Bay.

Gippsland scene and was named a runner-up.
Standout photo: the winner of the Heroes of Tarwin Valley Photo Competition, Beau and
Polly, Beach 3, by Karli Ray of Somerville.
